This could have been great if
a) it wasn't a drunk conception
b) if it didn't jump from event to event and had a bit more detail into why the characters were doing xyz
c) (idk if it's just me but) the characters already have a bit of depth but it's kind of wasted because ... referring back to point b ... it jumps forward so much
d) and authors need to not be so afraid of keeping their characters apart for more than a couple days - the baby barely grew half a millimetre before they were back together, like what???? There is so much more need and desperation (at least from one side of the party) the longer they're separated. It's not like the uke is gonna forget the seme after 5 business days of being separated.
They could have done so much with that one line "call your parents and tell them this baby is yours" that is such a powerful line that ive never heard in an ABO before and then they do barely anything with it. I was so disappointed.
Don't get me wrong, I like this manhwa, but authors are literally going around and around in the same old plot circle because a lot of readers like to be spoon fed this kinda stuff cause we don't have to think too hard, but it's kinda getting overdone at this point with less and less thought behind it each new release.

Genuinely curious as to whether it is normal for "straight boys" to jack each other off

Not sure, but I had a situations hearing the boys watching porn together and sometimes lending a heand to a friend. So maybe they do lol.
But in this situation I think the MC's fried kinda like him, because of how disappointed he was when MC said it wasn't that important of an event etc. And MC is about to find out he isn't straight either.

Personally, I think y'all were too quick to place a green flag title on him. Not saying that this seals the deal on him not being a green flag, just calling it out that just cause a character 'shows goodness' in some forms DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE A GREEN FORREST. Like you lot were calling him that before chapter 10 when we barely have any of the story unfolded, come on!
A lot of you really throw the term around very loosely and glaze over anything that could have them not be a green flag.

tbh, it's kinda hard to pull an actual green flag ML that is also interesting and not a flat/boring/puppy/goody-two-shoes, same with the red/black flag ones- it's a task to find an interesting one who doesn't just pull violence outta their ass just coz they're "down bad for the MC" lol. Most of the interesting leads out there are actually yellow in the least, it's so baffling when someone puts them to the extreme as either green or red when the plot contradicts it. Gray characters like this are the most interesting and engaging to read anyway (at least for me).

You made an excellent point and took the words right out of my mouth. I'm deffinetly eager to see what the author does with this whole plot and Guwon as the 'leader of the village.' If we look past the romance aspect, I can already tell that this won't be like a lot of other really popular BL plots that have been in circulation the last few years.
The only thing that's the problem with these kinds of plots is people watering down plot rich stories to the relationships between characters. So at the end of the day you shouldn't really expect much from the fandom of very popularised BLs.
(Time will tell tho whether the story will unfold to expectations)

I'm really wishing for a plot-heavy BL for this one, but if the author can pull the romance as the forefront while blending it well with the plot, then I guess that's still a consolation. It's also quite sad that the expectation for BLs is that it's going to be quite shallow because that's what sells, when authors can clearly whip up interesting plots like this one if they really want to (hopefully consistently too)

Yall would have very different opinions if you were in her situation having had an unconscious SERIAL KILLER in your house for two years not knowing when he'd wake up to get his revenge. The paranoia would be mentally crippling, being annoying should be the least of your concerns about her!!!!
smh they be deadass dismissing her reaction cause the ML is physically attractive — sybau people!
